This week on Unbalanced AF, we’re offering you something a little softer, a little steadier, and honestly… a little necessary.
Because Thanksgiving isn’t just about gratitude —
it’s about family dynamics, travel chaos, emotional booby traps, old stories resurfacing, and someone inevitably bringing up something you did in 1998.
So we made you a grounding meditation you can actually use.
No performative gratitude lists.
No “love and light, everything is perfect.”
Just a real moment to come down from the thinking mind, get into your body, remember compassion, and move through this week with actual grace — not the fake kind you put on when relatives are watching.
In this episode, Cheryl guides you through a Thanksgiving practice that helps you:
stop spiraling in your head
return to your body (aka the place where sanity lives)
remember a moment of real compassion that shaped you
use that memory as fuel for the next few days
navigate family, emotions, and chaos without losing yourself
It’s grounding, it’s human, and it’s got just enough Unbalanced AF energy to remind you that none of us have our stuff together — we’re just doing our best while trying not to burn the pies or snap at the siblings.
Listen to this before you travel, before dinner, or anytime you need to get back to yourself.
Happy Thanksgiving, fam. We’re grateful for you — unbalanced, honest, and exactly as you are. 🧡
